It's the shortest day - are you feeling tired, run-down, fed up of the cold and dark weather, stressed, choked with the cold, hectic at work and fed up of Xmas already?! Let us take you away from it all with ideas for pick-me up smoothies and advice to help put a much needed spring in your step this week!

And ... damage limitation before, during and after a night out! Accepting that many of us probably will overindulge during the festive period, how can you minimise the damage done?

Iain Bell, Director of the Executive Fitness Foundation, talks about the "Bartenders Manifesto", a well-being web portal which aims to educate bar staff to share knowledge about alcohol with their customers. Using links, tips, apps and experience the idea is to help create a new alcohol culture for all. Iain also offers advice on what to eat and drink before going out and how to get your body back on track the next day, nutrition-wise and fitness-wise. Is it sensible to exercise the morning after you've been drinking ... or could you be doing more damage to your body?

Juicing fan and owner of Juicy-Ness Alison MacLeod shares her ideas for juices and smoothies which can freshen you up and replace lost nutrients after a heavy night out ... plus a few simple nutrition and hydration tips to help avoid the hangover.
